Home ice proved to be the great equalizer for the ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç Chiefs.

Captain Brett Witala returned the lineup and had five points as the Chiefs downed the Osoyoos Coyotes at Rutland Arena.

Witala, who had a goal and four assists, was back with ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç after serving a two-game suspension for a check-from-behind major in Game 1.

Devin Sutton had two goals and two assists and Brody Dale added a goal and four points to help ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç even the best-of-seven Okanagan Division final at two games apiece.

Joseph McLeod stopped 37 shots for the Chiefs in front of 443 fans at Rutland Arena.

After dropping the first two games of the series in Osoyoos, the Chiefs rebounded with back-to-back wins on home ice.

Game 5 of the series goes Monday night at the Sun Bowl, with Game 6 back in ÁðÁ§ÉñÉç on Tuesday night. Face off a Rutland Arena is 7 p.m.
